Gold/silver - Well, I am not much of a jewelry wearer. Mostly just my wedding band, engagement ring and the Rolex my dad bought my mom in Switzerland.

Hometown - Yes, there really is a Kalamazoo.

Insomnia - Not generally.

Job title - According to my husband, none. According to me: artist.

Kid(s)- Two boys: Jamie- age 22, full time student, part time hockey and track coach and part time gopher for his Uncle Tim's rental business. Right now, with a broken right hand he isn't doing much. Joey- age almost 15, student, baseball player, skateboarder/snowboarder and currently taking driver's training.

Living arrangements - Plain old gray ranch walkout on a 213 acre farm between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, Michigan with my husband and Joey.

Most admirable trait - Hmmmm- ok, like Deb, I'm an optimist (one of the docs I used to work with called me a "f****** Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms") but I am also a bit of a hermit. But, if you are my friend and you need something I am there!

Number of countries visited - Uh, two...US and Canada. I am not much of a traveler but I do want to go to New Zealand.

Overnight hospital stays - Oh my, let's see: I don't know how many days for my appendix when I was six, 8 weeks in traction when I broke my femur then back in for a couple of weeks to have it plated when it didn't heal; 5 days for Jamie and 3 for Joey and overnight to get my gallbladder out.

Phobias - Heights, enclosed places and tight stuff around my neck.

Quote - "I am so far out of the mainstream you can't get there from here." me

Vegetable I refuse to eat - None- haven't met one yet I don't like.

Worst habit - Too much time spent on this machine!!!

Yummy foods I make - Too many to list. My meatloaf is very popular both the night of and as leftovers (when there are any).

Zodiac - Scorpio. That's all I know since I have no clue what time I was born (no, it isn't on my birth certificate- I am adopted).

Quote:Apples and Wine: Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough & smart enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Now Men... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the hell out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.See my complete profile
